Bait and switch marketing. FBBC Poway offers a 6 week "free" class, once you're there it becomes a $500 program that is "refundable" or partially refundable. If you're at a normal BMI they set the goal to 6% body fat and of you're above normal you lose 20 pounds. They have no standard of measurement prior to the first or last measurement and the device they use has a margin of error of 3.5-4.1%. Then when don't reach the goal, they do not honor a partial refund and only offer a credit to continue. I went from 199 to 187.4 in 6 weeks. The device said I lost 1.6% body fat and it increased from the prior two weeks each week. Mathematically it makes no sense. I would have to have lost 4.2% of muscle and water over 6 weeks; a total of 8.2 pounds of water and muscle. With that being said, if you follow the program you will lose weight. If you're looking to commit for 6 months, the initial $500 will get you another 5 months and may be worth it to you. I was looking for a 6 week program to get me back on track after breaking my leg, not false advertising and forced membership or an expensive 6 week program. Just keep in mind thos program is 90% diet based. Lean protein, vegetables, and very limited carbs; no sugar, or alcohol. read more

I'm updating to four stars because the owner reached out and seemed to be honestly sorry what happened. He was very kind and offered to have me go in and check the gym out. he was also very apologetic for what happened. I do think the new owners are way cool and I'm sure anyone will agree if they check them out. Best wishes to the gym and everyone in it! read more

I am an absolute believer of writing reviews, it helps other people considering to do the challenge and I am willing to share all about my experience so read below! Let me start by saying that I was greatly skeptical about it and also I want to make it clear that I am a real customer and not paid or biased in any way. All my life I've struggled with weight loss, weight gain and a lifelong struggle with obesity that started in my teen years. I stand proud and happy to successfully completed the 6 weeks challenge at Fit Body Bootcamp resulting in 20.4lbs lost and meeting the goal! I can say that I DO BELIEVE in the program giving successful results and I do want to do another challenge or signing up for a membership in the future after getting my refund back. I understand that I have still a long way to go and weightloss is about lifelong and permanent changes. Where The Gold Is. The coaches/trainers. They are a group of knowledgeable, encouraging, enthusiastic, funny, kind and overall professional people!!! They really really help you. They CARE! Sure, people will say: "just do HIT training, keep a low carb diet and do it on your own" but I would tell you that what I noticed is this: they lead you as to: 1. HOW to do the exercises to maximize your weight loss, to know that you ARE working the muscles you are supposed to work. 2. HOW to exercise so that you don't get hurt and/or strain your body. 3. Encourage you, entertain you and support you. You cannot have this if you do it on your own; at least that's my humble opinion. Where You Do Your Part. The food/meal plan is where your hard work starts. The hardest part for me was not the diet, the diet for me was great because I was soo full all the time, I was shocked at the amount of food I was eating! Obviously the key here is the type of food you're eating, you will not eat junk, drink, no sugary stuff etc. You WILL get used to it, or at least I did. But here's that hardest part for me: MEAL PREP, finding the time to meal prep juggling working 40-48 hrs per week and attending a husband, 2 cats, and other responsibilities was EXHAUSTING I can honestly say that was my biggest STRUGGLE. Alas you can do it, you can make changes to take care of your life and health. You need discipline and dedication but honestly I look back and say that it was well worth it. Also, know that you already gain A LOT by knowing that meal plan, it is sustainable, it is enjoyable if you really get creative like I did to include flavor but still comply with the meal plan. The meal plan is already putting you at an advantage and it has a lot of value to have that knowledge. Other Advice. Good things in life are hard to come by, so do your part and I wish you the best of luck. PS. I write blogs and currently working on one about my weight loss, travel, cooking etc. if you're interested send me a message so I can give you a link to my blog and other blogs I've written also available. read more

Just finished the 6 week challenge, 21.2 lbs gone! Although I work next door to Poway Fit Body Boot Camp, I didn't really have much knowledge about it until my co worker stopped in one day for more information. She told me about the 6 week program and I was instantly interested. I wish I knew about FBBC long ago! We both completed the challenge together. The workouts are intense, the meal plan is foolproof, and the coaches are amazing! Coach Tony helped me slim down my trouble areas and somehow still had a great time at every workout! They even have several morning and evening groups to fit your schedule. Truly amazing! It's never too late to start. If you want to get into shape and have a great time doing it, I highly recommend starting a challenge with FBBC! It's only 6 weeks! read more

This program works! The meal plans, metabolic HIT (High Intensity Interval) exercises, and the excellent support all work together to set you up for success to achieve your weight loss goals. I took up the 6-week boot camp challenge and lost 22 lbs! I achieved my goal and won the challenge. My blood pressure and cholesterol levels improved. My energy level throughout the day increased, as well. I would recommend Poway Fit Body Boot Camp, if you're looking to lose weight, or for a great gym with supportive staff and member community! read more

I have been going to the new location, on Danielson in Poway, for 6 weeks. The trainers are fun, knowledgeable, motivating, and help you get it done! They also help build and maintain a supportive community among the members. I achieved fitness gains here that I have been working at for years without success, and I'm finally crushing them! read more

Fit Body Boot Camp has been incredibly sanitary during COVID and going above and beyond by providing hand sanitizer before and after class, offering wipes for yoga mats, taping off squares so you can abide by social distancing guidelines and taking 30 minutes between each class to sanitize equipment/room properly. I have never met a more welcoming bunch which takes away the anxiety of joining a new fitness crew. The encouragement I have received during my workouts helps me push past that feeling of giving up. I highly highly recommend FBBC Poway! read more

Poway Fit Body Boot Camp is a great place to get in tip top shape, I really love the results I am seeing on a daily basis, and I have so much more confident about body. I highly recommend it to everyone. read more

This is my second challenge and this one is very different from the Transformation Camp that had participated before. I liked that workouts were shorter and we were not required to have 5 day workouts, only 3 although I think a 45 mins would be better than 25 min workouts. The staff was supportive, although had some challenges with coaches and their "boot camp" attitudes. I would recommend this camp overall, but you need be ready to have a self-discipline and complete change in the nutrition. I lost 15 lbs and 5% body fat. read more

Know what you are getting yourself into!! I signed up for a 6-week boot camp. The advertising was on Facebook and the hook was if you met your goal in 6 weeks, you would get your money back and could walk away. Seems like a no-brainer, right? My goal was a little over 10% of my body weight (one should consider whether this is reasonable or not, don't be driven by your desire to lose more - consult your doctor first!) I followed the plan and missed my goal by 1 pound. After a nearly $500 investment and only missing by 1 pound, I was convinced by Poway Fit Body Boot Camp to sign up for a one-year commitment, that the $500 I already spent would be taken off of my annual membership - STUCK in the annual commitment. Ask yourself if losing 20 pounds is work $2,000. Then, go look elsewhere. I'm sure you can spend LESS and still achieve your goals. I had talked with others who also felt like they were STUCK with this as their only option because they had already spent $500. Don't do it. BTW - I still have 3 more months of auto-pays left. Regret it everyday! read more

If you need a change, encouragement and inspiration to take care of yourself, this is the place to go. Found out about PFBBC from Facebook with a free six week challenge. It was an amazing, yet challenging experience. Even if you haven't exercised in a long time, intimidated by the big gyms, and not sure where to start, PFBBC is the place for you. Enrique and all the trainers are amazing. So encouraging to you to keep going even if you have to modify moves. At least you're moving. I lost 10 pounds and 1.6% body fat. It may not seem like a lot. It's all about baby steps for me. I feel so much better: more energy, positive attitude, encourage about my ability/performance, best of all others can see changes. Even if I lost 2 pounds, it's the most I've ever lost in 5 years. It's the year of transformation and new me. It's worth it. Check it out. You won't regret it. Hope to see you there. read more
